INACTIVE DTC CONDITION
This procedure applies if you have been sent here from a
diagnostic test and/or have just attempted to simulate the condition
that initially set the DTC. The following additional checks may assist
in identifying a possible intermittent problem:
* Visually inspect related wiring harness connectors for
broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
* Visually inspect related wiring harnesses for chafed, pierced
or partially broken wires.
* Check for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) relating to the
problem.
NOTE: For circuit description and wire color information, see
